Keebler Foods Company, a Delaware corporation ("Keebler"), hereby
amends Item 2. "Acquisition or Disposition of Assets" and Item 7. "Financial
Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits" of Keebler's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated October 9, 1998, in full to read as follows:
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On September 28, 1998, Keebler Foods Company, a Delaware corporation
("Keebler"), purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock
of President International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PII"), the parent and
sole owner of President Baking Company, Inc. ("President") from President
International Trade and Investment Corporation, a company limited by shares
under the International Business Companies Ordinance of the British Virgin
Islands for an aggregate purchase price of $446.1 million, excluding related
fees and expenses paid at closing of approximately $4.0 million. In conjunction
with this acquisition, Keebler extinguished its outstanding Term Note A plus
accrued interest and bank fees in the amount of $146.1 million.
The funds used to consummate the acquisition came from both existing
cash resources and from borrowings under the $700.0 million Senior Credit
Facility Agreement dated as of September 28, 1998 among Keebler, various
financial institutions and the Bank of Nova Scotia ("BNS"), as the Lead Arranger
and Administrative Agent, The First National Bank of Chicago, as the Syndication
Agent, and the Bank of Montreal, as the Managing Agent, as well as the $125.0
million Bridge Facility also dated as of September 28, 1998 among Keebler,
various financial institutions and the Bank of Nova Scotia as the Arranger and
the Administrative Agent. Keebler financed the transaction using existing cash
resources of approximately $75.0 million, and borrowings of $350.0 million under
a BNS Term Facility, $105.0 million under a BNS Revolver, and $75.0 million
under a BNS Bridge Facility.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired:
1. The financial statements listed in the accompanying Index to
the Financial Statements on page F-1 are filed on pages F-2 to
F-20 as part of this current report.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information:
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of
operations are based on the historical financial statements of Keebler and PII
during the periods presented, adjusted to give effect to the acquisition of PII.
The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of PII as of September 26, 1998 was
consolidated with the Keebler unaudited consolidated balance sheet at October
10, 1998 and included in the Keebler Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 1998.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the
forty weeks ended October 10, 1998, the fiscal year ended January 3, 1998 and
the forty weeks ended October 4, 1997 give effect to the acquisition of PII as
if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. The adjustments are
described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

<PAGE> 3
The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not
purport to represent what Keebler's results of operations would actually have
been had the acquisition of PII in fact occurred on such date or to project
Keebler's results of operations for any future period.

(h) EBITDA, as adjusted, is defined as income from operations before interest,

adjusted, is presented as additional information because Keebler believes it
to be a useful indicator of a company's ability to meet debt service and
capital expenditures requirements. It is not, however, intended as an
alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations (as
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles).

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses and the disclosure of
commitments and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and for the period then ended. Accordingly, actual results could differ from
such estimates. In addition, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
adjustments, which in the opinion of management were necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods. Results for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform with
current period reporting.
2. JOINT VENTURES
During 1992, President International Inc. ("PII" or the "Company") entered into
a joint venture (Tianjin President International Foods, Inc.) in Tianjin, PRC
with an affiliate of President Enterprises Corp.("PEC"), the ultimate parent
company of PII, and the Tianjin Children's Food Demonstration Plant. In 1995,
the PEC affiliate contributed its equity in the Tianjin joint venture totaling
$1.8 million to the Company. The Company also entered into a joint venture
(Shanghai President International Foods, Inc.) in Shanghai, PRC with the China
Sugar and Wine Company during 1994. During 1997, PII purchased the remaining
shares of Tianjin President International Foods, Inc. and Shanghai President
International Foods, Inc. for $1.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
In August 1998, PII sold the investments in Tianjin President International
Foods, Inc. and Shanghai President International Foods, Inc. to President
International Trade and Investment Corporation ("PITIC"), PII's direct parent,
for a $14.0 million note receivable resulting in a gain of $4.6 million, net of
income taxes.
Up until the time the joint ventures were sold, the Company accounted for the
investments using the equity method. The Company's equity in the net loss from
these joint ventures totaled $2.2 million from December 28, 1997 until the date
of sale. There was no royalty income from these joint ventures from December 28,
1997 until the date of sale.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
February 27, 1998, except for Note 12,
as to which the date is December 8, 1998.
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
President International, Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of changes in shareholder's equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
President International, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 27, 1997 and
December 28, 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

fiscal years ended December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996 included
fifty-two weeks.
CASH AND SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

paid interest in the amounts of $16,804,000 and $11,831,000, respectively.

paid income taxes in the amounts of $11,731,000 and $3,414,000,
respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, cost being
determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories include the
cost of material, labor and overhead.
DEFERRED GIRL SCOUT SELLING COSTS
Selling and promotion costs associated with the annual Girl Scout cookie
sale incurred from May 1 through the fiscal year end of each year are
deferred until the subsequent fiscal year in which the related Girl Scout
cookie sale revenues are recognized. Deferred selling and promotion costs
at December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996 totaled $3,023,000 and
$3,104,000, respectively, and are included in other current assets.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of individual assets, which range generally from
3 to 30 years. Depreciation expense totaled $5,497,000 and $5,250,000
during the years ended December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996,
respectively. Costs for major renewals and additions are capitalized,
while repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, include goodwill
($223,455,000 and $227,998,000 at December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996,
respectively), trademarks and trade names ($52,905,000 and $54,471,000 at
December 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, respectively) and other
identifiable assets purchased by the Company. Goodwill, trademarks and
trade names are being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line
method. Other identifiable intangible assets are amortized using the
straight-line method over 5 to 10 years. The Company evaluates its
goodwill for impairment of value based upon expected future cash flows from
operations.
PBC markets and sells the rights to distribute its products within
specifically defined geographic areas. For the years ended December 27,
1997 and December 28, 1996, PBC recognized net gains of $913,000 and
$342,000, respectively, from the sale of these rights.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes sales revenue upon shipment of the product to the
customer.
FORWARD AND FUTURES CONTRACTS
PBC enters into forward and futures contracts which hedge anticipated
purchases of certain ingredients used in the production of PBC's products.
PBC recognizes gains and losses from forward and futures contracts as a
component of the cost of the ingredients at the time of purchase. At
December 27, 1997, PBC held forward and futures contracts for commodities
involving notional amounts of approximately $55,047,000. As of December
27, 1997, PBC's net position to the market was favorable by approximately
$669,000.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
PBC entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against interest
rate risk on a portion of the Term loan outstanding. At December 27, 1997,
PBC was a party to interest rate swap agreements involving notional amounts
of $60,000,000. The estimated year end fair value of these financial
investments calculated as the present value of estimated future cash
outflows was approximately $495,000.
INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. Annual provisions for income taxes are based on
reported earnings before income taxes and include appropriate provisions
for deferred income taxes resulting from the tax effects of the differences
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts
for financial reporting purposes.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
In general, the Company extends credit terms to its customers on an
unsecured basis. At December 27, 1997 credit risk was generally
concentrated in the following two groups of customers - national and
regional supermarket chains and national, regional and local wholesalers
and distributors. The Company believes that the allowance for doubtful
accounts is sufficient to fully cover credit losses.
MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses and
the disclosure of commitments and contingent liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and for the period then ended. Accordingly, actual
results could differ from such estimates.

and certain joint venture operating expenses funded by the Company. During
1997, the Company wrote-off the majority of its joint venture receivables
totaling approximately $1,793,000. The loss from the write-off was
